A passenger plane on Thursday crashed near an airport in Nigeria's capital.
Photos posted to Twitter showed rescue workers surrounding the aircraft's fuselage and gray smoke rising.
"There's a lot of smoke coming from the runway, but we can't get access to it," witness Rasaki Rhakod told Reuters from Lagos. "There are firefighters rushing to the scene."
The crash occurred near a domestic terminal.
There is no immediate details on casualties.
Murtala Muhammed International Airport was the scene of a June 2012 crash that killed 163 people.
